DESIGNING FRAMEWORK FOR BETTER HEALTHCARE USING CLOUD COMPUTING

Technology and Healthcare industry move hand-in-hand. Healthcare industry can reap benefits of recent advancements in the field of information technology. Cloud computing is centralized virtual machine that manages the internal and the external framework for the storage, provides a hardware, software platform to managing it. This technology reduces the use of local hardware, software for storing, sharing and retrieving data. Cloud computing's important feature provides a remote access to share data. It uses different online access resources such as client-server, applications of storage. Healthcare industry generates lot of data (Big data) in the form of Lab test results, Patient registration and day to day monitoring data. Lot of storage may be required to store this data. Cloud computing environment enables to use several real time client server machines to fulfill the requirement of storage phenomenon. The paper discusses how storage requirements of healthcare systems can easily be taken care in the cloud based environment. Electronic healthcare systems are integrated with cloud for storing the generated data, enabling medical professionals to provide better medical assistance to the patients. The doctors can refer to the history and medical reports of patient from the cloud from anywhere. In future, we may also think of using data generated from wearable devices in an IOT environment to provide better medical assistance and patient care.
